ABOUT US
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. - Theodore Roosevelt
Half Man Half Octopus began life in 2012 when the Maggie Moore books were released. Since then it has grown to incorporate the Stick Man with a Big Bum and Arthur Klump books.
​
More recently, we have branched out into adult and YA books. This is an exciting new venture which we can't wait to share with you.
